The BBC led assualt on the Government continues apace this morning. First up we have the screaming headline that Andy Coulson has been arrested and charged with perjury by Scotland’s finest. This is deemed the single most important story in the UK this morning (Oh really?) but I suppose we can all understand WHY the BBC is hyping it… BBC chief political correspondent Norman Smith said: “Unlike the arrest of … Continue reading →

Fascinating to read from our contributor Alan that one of the biggest and most important  financial events is about to happen in the US with world changing effects and this is the world’s finest news organisation’s analysis: ‘Sorry, there are no results for  ‘taxmageddon’  in the category ‘News’.’ In the US in January 2013 there looms a massive financial decision….a ‘cliff edge’ moment, when the realities of the US economy will strike home. … Continue reading →

I’ll be was going to be on the BBC discussing the forthcoming strike by GP’s. I happened to read this item on the BBC which states as a fact, not an opinion, that “A majority of doctors voted in favour of action in a BMA ballot of 104,000 members over pension changes.” This is VERY misleading as you have to scroll down several paragraphs to discover that just 50% of … Continue reading →

It’s been making the rounds of the media today, lots of debate, and Mardell is not taking it well. Is Obama’s drone doctrine counter-productive? It doesn’t make the President look bad in the mainstream media, but it sure angers the anti-war crowd. … Continue reading →

Remind me, what exactly is John Pienaar for, asks Biased BBC contributor Alan?  What does his ‘insights’ and ‘analysis’ bring to the picture? His impressions are consistently either of an entirely bland stream of consciousness with little thought or a surprisingly different angle on a subject that hadn’t occurred to me as I listened to whatever he was later to dissect so incisively….and probably a take that no one outside … Continue reading →

ALIEN INVASION

Paul Krugman, what a guy. He’s the Nobel Prize winning economist who called for a fake alien invasion of the United States to spur a World War II-style defense build-up. The BBC wheeled him on this morning and salivated over his every word as he repeated his assault on the Coalition’s alleged austerity drive. Paul’s one of those economists who reckons you can spend your way out of debt but the … Continue reading →

FAUXTOGRAPHY?

I see that the highly-professional world-class entirely independent BBC has been exposed for using a photograph taken in Iraq in 2003 to illustrate the senseless massacre of children in Syria. This was “an accident” we are informed in the story, but it begs the question as to just how this got through the system. It’s not the first time the BBC has been quick to embrace imagery that suits its own … Continue reading →
